Into the Valley of Death...

Today's title is courtesy of Tennyson's poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" which describes another group of soldiers sent on a senseless suicide mission that accomplished nothing. The mission to open the Strait of Hormuz is reminiscent of the 1915 Battle of Gallipoli which had tragic results as Doug Macgregor relays in his conversation with Danny Davis below. Our politicians, much like Sam Cooke, don't know much about history or geography. This war of choice isn't working out well, and looks as if it might cause a global depression. Trump's ego won't let him admit defeat and withdraw from the Middle East, besides his Zionist owners won't allow him to do so. So on we go sowing more senseless death and destruction in our effort to maintain global hegemony.
